No degree. No bootcamp. No referrals. No b.s. If I can do it, you can do it.

ever think like “damn, if we can only see/hear a certain range of light waves and range of frequencies, if we could see and hear the full spectrum, that when we looked around it would just be one big solid energy field and that there would be no space at all so it’s all one”

@CreeCoder Congrats dude!

I’M OFFICIALLY MONETIZED ON 𝕏!!! 🤯

@hackastak Same! I feel so fortunate to have found this career, and I want others to feel that. 💪

I love talking to devs who are just getting started or are still on their journey to their first tech job. Being able to share my experience and some words of advice to actually have an impact on someone else's life is an amazing feeling.

Ive been gone for far too long!! (A 16 month old is a lot of work 😂) Jr devs and hopefuls, ASK ME ANYTHING ALL DAY AND I WILL RESPOND!!

@hackastak 🤘

It’s happening! I’ll be giving away one (maybe 2) of these mechanical boards Rules: - have to be following me (duh) - like and comment this post Sounds like a random drawing would be the best way to decide a winner, so we’ll draw on Monday 11/27. Time TBD If you win, you pick.

@Jakeroid Check out Keychron keyboards, I love mine.

Which one do you like more?

What is the #1 place you’ve learned the most from? (Tutorials, Courses, Documentation, etc)

Thank you for 200 followers! Love the dev community ❤️

@MackensieJack This is so sick!!

Hey y'all. Just finished my revamped portfolio site. Feel free to check it out. Super happy with the art and the feel. Curious what you think! #100devs #100daysofcode kensiejack.netlify.app

Did you fix any bugs today? 😅

@DThompsonDev I did it despite all of these things, you can too!

"Coding is hard" - You can still be a Dev "I don't have a degree" - You can still be a Dev "I grew up in a bad area" - You can still be a Dev "I don't have a dedicated mentor!" - You can still be a Dev! Every Great achievement by someone has 1 thing in common, they started.

💪

I firmly believe that the key to becoming a software developer lies in one's unwavering determination to solve problems. #coding #programming #motivation

@shashiwhocodes Absolutely! I come from a blue-collar background with no degree. I learned almost completely from YT and Udemy courses and got my first job as a FE React Native dev, and have been at my current job for about a year as a Full-Stack React/TS/Rails dev. I love giving back to devs!

@DevDefying signed up to be a mentor! Tell us more about yourself and what you can help mentees with.

Looking for a Development Mentor? Look no further! I created a Notion doc to keep track of all the folks looking for a mentor and mentors available to help. I'm hoping we can make some life changing connections. enormous-guide-a70.notion.site/d6bb4f91a59845…

Go check this out!

@BekahHW @CodeNewbies Love this! I used a lot of my blue-collar skills to get my first dev job!

Hey career changers, I’m here to say: Your transferable skills are important. Don’t discount them as part of your story. You have more experience than you think. Every single job I’ve had has directly benefitted from what I learned teaching college English.

@wesbos That’s SICK.

I found this old boom box for $1 at a yard sale this weekend. Last night I cracked it open and added a Bluetooth transmitter to it. Pretty fun project. I think I want to add a google home or Alexa to it next now that I have aux in and 12v figured out

@shashiwhocodes Nice, I’ll definitely hop on as a mentor!

@DThompsonDev Wouldn’t mind speaking at one of these!

I asked YOU the other day what are things you wished I put more effort in as a way to help you. Want to know what was one of the most common answers? (outside of asking for money 😑) TWITTER SPACES! Y'all are right. What spaces do you want to see? More junior dev power hours?

@saminoorsyed Nice, I’ll definitely include it!

@DevDefying ooof, I know my portfolio needs a lot of work... getting a bit of free advice never hurts... much. samisyed.dev
